Staff were exceptionally friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was delicious and it certainly set us up for the day. Sitting out in the garden was an added bonus on a sunny morning.
The rooms are beautifully spacious. Bed very comfortable.

From the friendly staff on arrival to the outstanding food, everything from this stay exceeded my expectations.
The building is incredibly charming and then when you go into the rear garden you’re welcomed by a flock of feathered friends.
The restaurant served me one of the nicest meals I have had in a long time, partnered with a local beer too.
On average, 3-star hotels in Taunton cost £79 per night, and 4-star hotels in Taunton are £109 per night. If you're looking for something really special, a 5-star hotel in Taunton can on average be found for £123 per night (based on Booking.com prices).

The environs were better than the centre although the churches and Museum are worth a visit. Traffic heavy in places and most streets not pedestrianised. I would recommend 'Augustus' for a special meal (Michelin starred). Most other restaurants very unspectacular. Brasserie meal in the 'Castle Hotel' disappointing.
My favourite places are the Quantocks, The West Somerset Railway and Hestercombe Gardens.

Taxi overcharged me on the motorway route after being told it was £25 I got charged £34. He would only take one route that I thought was cheaper. I tried calling him the next day due to no public bus services available. No response. Claimed he arrived fromRomania in 2003. An English person from Taunton Taxis helped me out the next day with an awesomely cheaper rate, and showed me how to get to the basic bus route. Brilliant service from Taunton Taxis. Would highly recommend them but you have to phone as they are not allowed to sit in aTaxi rank apparently, where the expensive guy was....??
Some people here do not know where things are. Bus services do not run on Sundays if you are a traveller, tourist, worker etc.
Prior experience here I was left to sleep in the street, no offer to provide a place to sleep, had a food poisoned experience by local street van vendor, not seen here on revisit where public toilets were intentionally closed and Male urinals open. I am a woman!
Bag of personal belongings stolen from the local library, taken into custody via police where items were returned after it being opened. This was bag with clothes, research books and personal property linking to identity and legal documents were accessed. That was with CCTV.

We came for the County Classics Car Museum which has recently opened. Lots of shiny cars and motorbikes, friendly staff. We also went for a couple of walks close by - one at Ilminster and one at Castle Naroche. We stayed at the Corner Hotel. The meal in their restaurnat (pre-book) was excellent.

Taunton is a nice unusual town with lots of different shops.
Taunton is a nice unusual town with lots of different shops. It is near to the River Tonne and has a museum( although I didn't get a chance to visit on this occasion) It is very close to the cricket ground and has 2 beautiful churches. Nearby there is a nice park called Vivary Park. There are two Park and Rides called Silk Mills and Gateway and the bus runs between the two. It only costs £2 return and you park in the Park and Ride car park for free. The cattle market is no longer held in the town, though.

We went for a live band rock n roll event in the Lawns club it was brilliant they have live music events often.
Lovely walk in the park it has a lovely children's play area with Cafe and outdoor climbing ropes / crazy golf lots to do .
Very friendly, polite & approachable staff.
The room was light & airy, despite being a little on the small side & the addition of the fan already in the room when we arrived was a huge bonus.
The menu was high brow, but delicious & the chef their team in the kitchen certainly knew how to prepare a fine dining experience.
The location, near to the town centre was close enough to walk in a matter of minutes.
Nice gardens, excellent food, friendly staff, poor bed, good bathroom.
The hotel seemed a little pricier than justified in terms of room quality.
I also booked because the hotel states that it has an EV charger. It does but it's worse than useless charging at a mere 6kw and inaccessible due to bad parking so I spent most of my stay in Taunton searching for a fast charger rather than at the hotel itself.
There wasn't a breakfast option and the room was quite stuffy, due to the combination of very hot weather and a poor quality Aircon unit. No decaf hot drink sachets was slightly disappointing but staff were friendly; hotel is in a perfect position close to the station and cricket ground and it's good value for a single night stay to watch a Somerset match!
After traveling for over 24 hours, the welcome we got was amazing. Such lovely people and a lovely home, we had our own space but felt like we were being welcomed it a family home.
Location was great for us, we were visiting family in Taunton and could walk off the main road from No.2 to their place.
The location was excellent and very central to where I was visiting. Being a dog friendly hotel it was the first time I have taken my dogs with me and it was great the staff couldn't do enough provided dog bed and bowls. The room was comfy and clean and a good size
The staff, the location (when I found it, Taunton not easy to navigate by car). The hotel was lovely with a lot if variation in terms of seating space. So you could choose a busy and buzzy bar. Or you could relax in The Drawing Room which was quiet and relaxing
Lovely Dining room, Lovely Breakfast ,very good service. Plenty of choice .The location ,ie excellent ,right opposite Taunton Rail Station. Its a fifteen minute walk into the town centre . We all felt safe in the area we walked.Bedroom was excellent.
The hotel is very well located a very short walk from the town centre. Ample free parking on-site. Small room but comfortable bed and separate shower in bathroom. Breakfast opened at 7.30 and was quick and efficient. Definitely very good value for money.
Our room was lovely - clean, tidy and had all the amenities we needed. We had a lovely breakfast served the morning of our departure. Perfect location - quiet at night, and an easy drive (15 min) through country lanes to Taunton town centre!!
Ideal location for Taunton town centre. Lovely old building. Warm and tidy. Nice lady running the palce. Good blackout curtains made our room nice and dark for a good long sleep ZZZZZZzzzz
It was very helpful to us that we were able to bring our dog. Lovely hotel and a good breakfast. Nice bar. Always stay here when we travel to Taunton, never disappointed
A lot of thought had been put into the decor. The hosts were responsive when there was a problem. The location was pretty good - 20 mins walk to Taunton Town Centre.
